Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
Considerable activity prevailed again, but the
market took backward turn and large pro
portion of the recent Investment appeared TO be
sold out again. The bull report of last week
failed to obtain the support hoped for, and
there seemed to be an absence of sufficient con
fdence to hold positions. After small gain to
commence with, there was sharp drop OF 100
II points from the highest, with a small re-
cover; closing about steady and 6G7 points UNI
der Saturday.

pected. Clearings from the seaboard aggre-

limits June commanded q premium of / cent
